Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of continuous theta burst stimulation in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia (PSA).Methods:Forty-six patients with post-stroke aphasia were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 23 cases in each group. In addition to conventional rehabilitation and speech-language therapy, the observation group received daily theta burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting the contralesional inferior frontal gyrus, the superior temporal gyrus, and the superior frontal gyrus. The control group received sham stimulation over the same areas. The treatment was 5 days per week for 3 weeks. Before and after the treatment, both groups were evaluated using the China Rehabilitation Research Center′s aphasia examination method (CRRCAE), the Boston diagnostic aphasia examination (BDAE), the brief mental scale (MMSE), and the Stroke Aphasia Quality of Life scale (SAQOL-39).Results:After the treatment, intra-group comparison showed significantly greater improvements among the observation group in terms of their average CRRCAE listening comprehension (112.74±8.935), repetition (115.74±16.015), speaking (99.91±6.273), oral reading (98.22±14.087), and reading (86.57±8.101) sub-scores and their average BDAE [3.00 (3.00, 4.00)], MMSE [21.00 (20.00, 24.00)] and SAQOL-39 (112.96±21.995) scores.Conclusions:Continuous theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively improve the speech, cognition and life quality of persons with post-stroke aphasia. This therapy is worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Objective:To compare the clinical manifestations,laboratory results,and imaging features between pyogenic spondylitis(PS) and tuberculous spondylitis(TS).Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 88 patients with infectious diseases of spine(IDS) admitted to Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were analyzed,including 61 PS cases(PS group) and 27 TS cases(TS group). The clinical manifestations,laboratory results,and imaging features were compared between two groups. The factors associated with PS were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. The diagnostic efficacy for pathogen identification was compared between metagenomics next-generation sequencing(mNGS) and bacterial culture methods in PS and TS patients.Results:Compared with the TS group,the PS group had a higher age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index(aCCI)[3.0(1.5,4.0) points vs. 2.0(1.0,3.0) points, Z=-2.189, P=0.029],shorter onset time of disease[1.0(0.8,3.0) months vs. 6.0(2.0,12.0) months,Z=-4.353, P<0.001],and higher median blood leukocyte counts and serum ferritin(SF) level(7.2×10 9/L vs. 6.3×10 9/L, Z=-2.652, P=0.008; 571.3 ng/ml vs. 266.0 ng/ml, Z=-4.773, P<0.001). The proportions of lumbar spine involvement,non-collapsed involved vertebrae,and bone bridges formed were all higher in the PS group compared to the TS group[68.8%(99/144) vs. 41.4%(29/70), χ2=14.628, P<0.001; 68.9%(42/61) vs. 18.5%(5/27), χ2=19.055, P<0.001; 41.0%(25/61) vs. 7.4%(2/27), χ2=9.921, P=0.002]. The proportions of thoracic spine involvement,severe vertebral collapse,severe narrowing of the involved intervertebral space,sequestrum,and paravertebral soft tissue calcification were all higher in the TS group compared to the PS group[52.9%(37/70) vs. 18.1%(26/144), χ2=27.463, P<0.001; 55.6%(15/27) vs. 13.1%(8/61), χ2=17.462, P<0.001; 74.1%(20/27) vs. 37.7%(23/61), χ2=9.907, P=0.002; 74.1%(20/27) vs. 18.0%(11/61), χ2=25.761, P<0.001; 51.9%(14/27) vs. 6.6%(4/61), χ2=23.599, P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that a symptom duration<5.5 months( OR=30.644,95% CI: 2.022-464.529, P<0.05) and a leukocyte count>7.35×10 9/L( OR=48.653,95% CI: 2.045-1 157.721, P<0.05) indicated a higher likelihood of PS; while the vertebral collapse indicated a higher likelihood of TS( OR=0.025,95% CI: 0.001-0.638, P<0.05). The most common pathogen in the PS group was Staphylococcus aureus(31 cases,50.8%),followed by Streptococcus species(10 cases,16.4%). The positive rates of mNGS testing in the PS and TS groups were 84.1%(37/44) and 12/13,respectively,which were higher than those of conventional bacterial culture[77.8%(42/54)] and Mycobacteriumtuberculosis culture(2/11). Conclusions:Compared with the TS patients,the PS patients have shorter onset time,higher aCCI scores,higher blood leukocyte counts and SF levels,less vertebral collapse and intervertebral space narrowing,and more bone bridge formation. The TS patients have more dead bones and calcifications. The mNGS has a higher diagnostic efficacy than bacterial cultures for PS and TS.

Objective: To examine the associations between peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function and their combined effect among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting healthy development of executive function among primary and secondary school students. Methods: In November 2024, a combining convenience with clustering method was used to select 3 547 primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen City. The Chinese versions of the Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S), the Parental Phubbing Scale (PPS), and the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI) were used to assess peer bullying, parental phubbing, and executive function, respectively. Generalized linear regression models were applied to analyze the associations of peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function, and to assess their joint effects. Subgroup analyses were performed by ages and genders, and multiplicative interaction terms were used to test for interactions. Results: The score for peer bullying among primary and secondary school students was (15.27± 5.67 ), with verbal bullying, physical bullying, and relational bullying scores being (5.64±2.77) (4.70±1.62) (4.93±2.07), respectively. The score for parental phubbing was (13.98±5.00). Executive function score was (47.35±15.89), while inhibitory control and working memory scores were (26.44±9.00) (20.91±7.49), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, self reported family relationship, self reported family economic status, parental education level, both peer bullying ( β= 0.75, 95%CI =0.67-0.84), verbal bullying( β=1.41, 95%CI =1.23-1.58), physical bullying ( β=2.18, 95%CI =1.87- 2.49 ), relational bullying ( β=1.78, 95%CI =1.54-2.01) and parental phubbing ( β=0.88, 95%CI =0.79-0.98) were significantly positively associated with the degree of executive function impairment (all P <0.01). Joint effect analysis showed that, compared with the "no bullying low phubbing" group, the total executive function scores in other combined exposure groups were all higher ( β = 6.78-15.96, all P <0.01). Among them, the "bullying high phubbing" group exhibited the highest level of executive function impairment ( β=14.17, 95%CI=12.61-15.73, P <0.01). Subgroup analysis indicated significant interactions between verbal bullying and age on total executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory (all P interaction <0.01). The association of verbal bullying with executive function was slightly higher in primary and secondary school students younger than 13 years ( β=1.80, 95%CI = 1.45-2.16) than in those aged 13 years or older ( β=1.25, 95%CI =1.05-1.45) (both P <0.01). Other types of bullying and parental phone neglect showed no statistically significant interaction with age or gender in executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory(all P interaction >0.05). Conclusion Both peer bullying and parental phubbing are significantly associated with impaired executive function among primary and secondary school students, and there is a combined effect between them; among these, the association between verbal bullying and executive function impairment in younger primary and secondary school students is more pronounced.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,drug sensitivity,and prognostic risk factors of patients with candidemia at our hospital,for providing evidence for rational drug use and improving prognosis.Methods A total of 181 patients with candidemia who were admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were selected for this study.Basic data,drug susceptibility test results,and clinical information were collected and analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups:a favorable prognosis group and a poor prognosis group;their prognostic risk factors were analyzed using univariate and binary logistic analyses.Results Candidemia was diagnosed from 181 Candida strains,including Candida parapsilosis(88 strains,48.62％),Candida albicans(34 strains,18.78％),Candida tropicalis(29 strains,16.02％),and Candida glabrata(17 strains,9.39％).Patients with candidemia were mainly diagnosed during general surgery(51.93％),intensive care unit(16.02％),and emergency department(9.94％).Univariate and binary logistic analyses showed that use of hormone and(or)immunosuppressive agents(OR=4.787),mechanical ventilation for more than 96 h(OR=4.558),renal insuffi-ciency(OR=4.426),and intrapulmonary infection(OR=4.228)were important independent risk factors.The highest detection rate of can-didemia in our hospital was for Candida parapsilosis.With the exception of Candida tropicalis,which was less sensitive to voriconazole,all other strains were sensitive to azole drugs.In conclusion,hormone and(or)immunosuppressive agents,mechanical ventilation for more than 96 h,renal insufficiency,and intrapulmonary infection are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with candidemia.

Objective:To observe the effect of combining low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with melodic intonation therapy (MIT) in the treatment of aphasia soon after a stroke.Methods:Sixty survivors of a recent stroke with aphasia were randomly divided into a control group, an MIT group and an observation group, each of 20. All received conventional rehabilitation therapy, but for 4 weeks the MIT group was additionally given MIT while the observation group received MIT plus 1Hz rTMS applied over the right inferior frontal gyrus and the posterior superior temporal gyrus. The intensity was 80% of the resting motor threshold. Before and after the treatment, language function and communication ability were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and Communicative Activities of Daily Living (CADL) scale.Results:Significant improvements in the WAB and CADL scores and aphasia quotient (AQ) were observed in both the MIT group and the observation group after the treatment compared to their pre-treatment levels, but the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the other two groups on all three assessments. The MIT group′s average scores were superior to those of the control group.Conclusions:Applying rTMS and MIT in combination significantly improves the speech and the daily communication abilities of aphasics early post-stroke, reducing the severity of their aphasia. The therapy exhibits considerable promise for clinical implementation.
